In reply to Camp Comfort...., posted by JLynn on August 18, 2005, at 23:01:52
Yes, I think, let me ask ... yes, there are always a few places at camp comfort open to the abandonned.
There is a room overlooking the ocean, called the blue room. Its walls are palest blue, the blue of the sky on a hot, hot day. The bed covers are more azur, a deeper, cooler blue. There is a small balcony with a chair and a table, comfy enough and a nice place to read or write; a fine place to drink a glass of wine in the evening and watch the seagulls.
There is also the yellow room. You'd share with another, a warm, laughing woman to whom you'll take right away, and who will take to you. It's a big room with pale yellow walls and brighter bedclothes on the two big beds. The bathroom attached has a huge tub just perfect for long, luxurious baths with a huge window that looks out over the pastures, and the gardens that surround the house, and the hills beyond. From the room, you can sit in big open windows and watch the hummingbirds gorge at the feeder below.
And of course there is the cabin, tucked into the back of the garden among the ivy and wisteria. Quiet, private and peaceful, the cabin beckons those who need the comfort of solitude, knowing that anytime, any moment, a short walk will lead to a warm welcome from kind friends.
Every evening, in the cool so welcome after the long, hot afternoons, we might sit and watch the sun go down over the ocean, and talk about the events of the day, our thoughts, the things we've seen, and how we've felt about all of it. In the twilight, we could sit together companionably, comfortable with each other and ourselves.
Do come. We'll miss you if you aren't there.
